Well sweeties, we tried. We planned the pre-order, and did all the things. We have an epic cover design by the wonderful Becca Whitaker (www.patreon.com/BeccaWhitaker). We have the narrator for the audio book lined up. We had all the things! Where did it all go sideways? Well, back at the end of May, Lady Fate… Continue reading Life happens…

Cover Art Arguments
Being part of a writing pair is fun, amazing, and ... aggravating. When we are on the same page, we're cooking with gas. When we're not on the same page, well, we're melting marshmallows in the campfire... Never fear though, sweeties, our bestie Wolf brought over graham crackers and Hershey bars so we have made… Continue reading Cover Art Arguments

Happy Lunar New Year!
Hello sweeties! Yes, it has more than a minute since you have heard from us. We are both back in school and let’s just be honest…. school is kicking our behinds! And let’s not forget that Mercury is in Retrograde until 20 February (we’re going to use the international date format since we are internationally… Continue reading Happy Lunar New Year!
Still Alive!
Hello Sweeties! Remember us? Well, we barely remember us! Did we mention that Lin had the briliant idea for us to go back to school during the summer? We didn't? She did. Now that Zonia just finished her second term, we are both able to think of something other than term papers and MLA vs… Continue reading Still Alive!

Hello sweeties! 2020 has been rough! But we're determined to not let it keep us down! To celebrate Lin's upcoming birthday, we're running a Count Down Deal for our US and UK Amazon listings (the limitation is Amazon's choice/decree, not ours, sweeties). The deal is running today through 16 October. (ending 12PM GMT in the… Continue reading We’re celebrating Lin’s Birthday!
Are there only 31 days in October?
No. Seriously. March, April, May...I mean all of them seemed to last a gajillion years but we get to September and it's gone in a blink? Back in April, Lin had the brilliant idea we should use the Stay-at-Home order to go back to school. She mapped it out. Put the financial plan in order.… Continue reading Are there only 31 days in October?
A Rose by any other name
(SN: we're not fans of Romeo & Juliet. But The Bard is so eminently quotable....) Recently, we were told that our book wasn't really "romance." We were rather surprised by this. Because, well, we consider Magic is Real to be very much a Romance. The person kindly clarified that our story may have romantic elements,… Continue reading A Rose by any other name
In the Flesh…
Well. Not entirely. We're finally ready to unveil a collab with Marcus The Visual. It's A-MAZING if we do say so ourselves. Ready? This first scene finds the ladies in the Greenhouse. Marcus did a fantastic job bringing the ladies to life! A poster will be available for purchase when we find a distributor (...and… Continue reading In the Flesh…
Writing during a Pandemic
One of the things we discuss frequently is how much real world do we want to put into our stories? I’ve always written best when I write what I know; while Lin (as the world builder) has no problem dropping into a figurative ocean and swimming her way back. (Side Note: if that ever happened… Continue reading Writing during a Pandemic
